Domestic car manufacturing is weak, what does it have to do with our land tanks?

Lu Yan’s words completely shocked the top management of Wuling.

But if you think about it carefully, it is very profound.

As for the reasons for the economic downturn, it is nothing more than the sluggish real estate market and the high per capita debt ratio. In addition, those who understand will understand the reasons. They have been fighting with the United States, and foreign trade is suffering. Naturally, the growth rate cannot be kept up.

After discussing the key points of the idea,

Lu Yan began to finalize the design of the new car with Wuling.

“For this mini car model, I plan to design two versions, one for men and the other for women. The women’s version is cute and exquisite, with better comfort, while the men’s version is more handsome and has a higher chassis limit, which makes people feel better when driving. There will also be some differences in configuration.……”

“Of course, there is no difference in these configurations. For example, the female-oriented main and co-pilot seats will have a makeup mirror, while the male-oriented trunk will have a discharge function, which is convenient for going out for fishing and outdoor activities.……”

Lu Yan has specially investigated this type of car on the market.

Many”mini models” make this type of car more refined, and even the whole series is the kind of pink and cute style.

But they ignore that this type of car itself has a lot of male buyers.

It is undeniable.

Some male car owners do not reject this pink and cute style, but after all, not everyone can accept it, which will also become a factor affecting the final sales.

The personalized configuration is more considerate of consumers in the design concept.

After all, adding a makeup mirror configuration or adding a discharge port is not expensive in itself, but some car companies are unwilling to do so.

When this was said.

Everyone was shocked again!!

Such a small car, in the same car series, has to create two different chassis tuning styles? ? ?

Will someone really put so much effort into mini models?

“Mr. Lu, I didn’t expect that Hongqi not only has excellent technology, but also has a very deep understanding of the market positioning of the whole vehicle and the needs of users. I think we don’t need any superfluous opinions. We just need to follow your design ideas. Wuling’s production line and supply chain fully cooperate!!”

Lv Jun said.

After half a meeting, he was convinced by Lu Yan.

Wuling had been deeply involved in the small car market for so many years and had considerable experience, but after listening to what Lu Yan said, he found the problems he had overlooked before.

So he felt that he really didn’t need to make any more suggestions, and it might be superfluous.

Some veterans of Wuling were not convinced by Hongqi’s tough tone, and believed that Hongqi’s idea of making such a car might not be better than Wuling’s years of accumulation.

Now, I see that I am really redundant.

They really just need Wuling to cooperate in production.

After the meeting.

The development of new cars was completely put on the agenda.

The R&D team from Hongqi also treated everyone equally, even if it was a small car worth tens of thousands of yuan, they were not careless at all. They were almost 100% focused.

There was no other reason.

It was all because of their boss.

During this process, he came in from time to time to check, and even participated in person. They are used to making big supercars and executive cars with the best materials. It is also a refreshing thing to change the taste occasionally.

……

More than half a month later, an in-house built engineering vehicle rolled off the production line.

It can be seen that the entire exterior is extremely simple, not only is there no paint, but even the doors and glass, including the interior interior, are not installed.

However, the frame and chassis power system of the entire vehicle have been fully configured and can be road tested!

Because the structure of the mini car is simple, and with the full cooperation of the Wuling factory, the engineering vehicle rolled off the production line quickly.

The testing process was also very fast. The members of the R&D department were extremely excited and rushed to test the engineering vehicle.

“Hahaha, this car is so fun!”

“I have found the feeling of driving a go-kart! It is so fun to drive!”On the test track outside the factory, a mini car with a rounded appearance is seen moving flexibly on the test track with extremely flexible curves. It is so fun!

If you don’t look carefully, the scene is just like a go-kart in a game.

If ordinary people see this kind of test scene, they will definitely open their eyes wide and be stunned!

The reason is very simple.

Because in the impression of ordinary people, this kind of”mini car”，”The”Lao Toule” can only run at 50-60 mph normally. Many manufacturers are afraid of safety accidents and cost considerations, so they simply limit the maximum speed to 100 mph!!

After all, it’s a car worth tens of thousands of dollars, what else do you want from a bicycle???

But now.

This”mini car” is not only flexible on the track, but also has a very fast speed. It can reach a terrifying 130-140 mph in a straight line!!

The chassis engineers here at Hongqi are all”lap masters”.

When developing supercar chassis, they have done it at speeds of more than 200 mph, not to mention this kind of small car!!

Driving It feels very easy.

The reason why this car can run so fast is entirely because of the three-electric system equipped in this car. In addition to the battery pack, the motor is also produced in-house by Hongqi.

Although the technology of carbon fiber rotor motor is not used, it is an industrial motor that is actually manufactured and tuned by Hongqi. The power of the whole car far exceeds that of its peers. Not only can the zero-to-hundred acceleration reach 7 seconds, but even the maximum speed of the vehicle can reach an exaggerated speed of 170 yards!!

Lu Jun stood outside the track.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he was completely stunned!!

I never thought that Lu Yan would put a”mini model”���The degree is so radical!

This is too exaggerated!!

“Mr. Lu, isn’t this speed too exaggerated? How about we add an electronic speed limit to limit this speed? ?”

Lv Jun was sweating a little!

He couldn’t imagine what it would be like if consumers bought such a car and drove around in the city.

Lu Yan smiled:”Mr. Lu, I think you are worrying too much. This speed is not fast at all. Generally speaking, a car has a certain safety capability that can match its speed. The mini models you made before, including most of the models on the market that cost tens of thousands of yuan, only have a speed of 80 to 110 mph. Why do you think this is the case?”

Lv Jun pondered for a moment:”Of course, this is because cars like our Wuling mini have limited safety. The faster the speed, the greater the impact. In many cases, a speed of 50 or 60 mph is already unbearable for a small car. What if a car accident occurs at a faster speed? ?”(To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

What Lu Jun said is not without precedent.

For example, there was a car accident reported last year. A collision accident of less than 60 miles per hour directly killed an 18-year-old girl.

All this was because she was riding in a Lao Toule car, which was a miscellaneous brand on the market, the kind that cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. She was hit from the side by a taxi at a speed of nearly 60 miles per hour. As a result, the back seat of the Lao Toule did not have a seat belt at all, causing the girl’s head to be severely hit and the glass to be broken and half of her body to be hit. Get out of the car.

Because of these accidents, the national standard has been repeatedly emphasized, and in recent years, the unregulated old man’s car has been strictly checked.

The”mini models” produced by Wuling and other traditional car companies are at least safe.

But I dare not say that there are too many guarantees for accidents above 60-80 miles per hour.

After all, the price cost is here, and the anti-collision beam and body rigidity are not half of those of normal models.

So the most advantageous way is to limit the speed.

I will only allow you to run a maximum of 100 miles per hour, and the acceleration curve becomes very slow after exceeding 60 miles per hour. If an accident occurs again, it has nothing to do with my manufacturer.

“Yes, what kind of safety can match what kind of speed, just like the chassis of an ordinary family car, even if you give it the power of a supercar, it will only roll over under intense driving.……”

Land rock opening

“But our mini is different. It has high-strength hybrid steel as the body support. Its hardness and torsional rigidity even exceed those of a normal family car worth 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. In addition, the support is strengthened at the structural points that are vulnerable to car accidents, making it more protective in the event of various accidents, and the AB pillars will not break under stress.……”

“In addition, new energy vehicles, because of the support of the battery pack underneath, the quality and weight of the body itself are online, coupled with good chassis tuning, there is no need to worry about the whole car floating up or simply turning over at high speeds. In other words, except for the appearance and space being mini models, other performance and safety aspects are not any shortcoming compared to other family cars.”

“And Mr. Lu, have you ever thought that in many cases, slow speed is actually more dangerous than fast speed?”

“For example, some car owners, due to economic conditions or other reasons, will drive their mini cars on the highway. In this case, your manufacturer will add an electronic speed limit of 90-100 mph. In reality, they may only be able to drive at 70-80 mph on the highway. Even overtaking and changing lanes on the highway are very slow. That is equivalent to a mobile roadblock. Isn’t it more dangerous? ?”[]

The situation Lu Yan mentioned is not uncommon.

Anyone who often drives on the highway knows that in addition to large trucks, you can see some small mini models on the highway.

For some car owners with average economic conditions, a mini may be his only means of transportation, and on free holidays, you can even see motorcycles and three-wheeled trucks on the highway.

On the highway.

Sometimes you can drive 120-130 safely, but if you drive 80 to 90 mph and occupy the fast lane, you can’t overtake for a long time, then many car owners will really curse!

Now Hongqi and Wuling, as manufacturers, have the ability to make small cars at 150, so why don’t they do more? ?

If you just stand from the perspective of the manufacturer, in order to reduce the accident rate and evade responsibility, limit the speed limit to 100, although no one will say anything, it will inevitably cause some people’s needs to be unmet, and will also increase the dangerous road scenes mentioned by Lu Yan.

Hearing this.

Lu Jun’s expression changed completely, with a mixture of surprise and admiration:”Boss Lu, I just realized that when you build cars at Hongqi, you really consider the consumers from the bottom of your heart, instead of just saying it like some other manufacturers do.……”

To be honest, he just realized that people like Lu Yan are rare these days!

With such a large scale of the company, they can still understand the needs of consumers so well when making cars, and are willing to make concessions for their interests.

Logically speaking, companies like Wuling have been making entry-level cars worth tens of thousands of yuan for such a long time, and they are in contact with some low-level and ordinary people, so they should know this best.

But now I find that I am not as good as the boss of Hongqi. Not only can he make supercars and executive models that can control the top social elites, but he can also bend down and treat a small car worth tens of thousands of yuan with the most serious attitude!

Lu Yan smiled and said:

“Mr. Lu, haven’t you heard the saying, I put the people in my heart, and the people hold me high……”

For any enterprise to grow to a large scale, it must have solved the pain points and real needs of the people. However, such needs often conflict with and violate the interests of manufacturers. How to maximize the needs of the people through technology while ensuring their own interests is the real difficulty.

Of course.

In addition, it is also because Lu Yan really bought a”mini model” in his previous life and drove it for a long time! He was deeply impressed by this type of car.

He can also fully understand the real pain points of this type of car, so���Only then can we go from the shallow to the deep.

After the preliminary test, the internal teams of both parties began to make the final finishing and finalization of the interior and exterior paint of the whole vehicle. Under the premise of requiring relatively high quality for each component, low cost control must be achieved!

Wuling has temporarily put aside the development of all internal models and invested all of it in this model co-branded with Hongqi, which is enough to show the importance it attaches to it.

This car is equipped with semi-solid batteries and a lot of internal technical adjustments of Hongqi, and has the potential to take off in sales!

It means a lot to Wuling!!.
